Jesus Fixed ImagePage 79

Holy Spirit Help

In the early days of photography, one of the biggest problems was fixing the image permanently on the photographic plate. The French artist and photographer Louis Daguerre (1787-1851) who is credited with the invention of the "daguerreotype" process of photography was amazed to discover a plate in a cupboard full of chemical bottles on which the image was bright and clear. Not knowing which one of the chemicals was responsible, he withdrew them one by one only to find that even when empty the closet still fixed the image clearly on the plate. Finally, Daguerre discovered that some mercury had been spilled in the cupboard and the lingering vapors had been responsible for fixing the image. In the same way, the Holy Spirit helps to keep the Jesus fixed image in focus strong and clear in our lives.✞
